Could you give some links to these benchmarks? I use ext4 and am very happy, including faster fsck and xfer rates! kernelnewbies.org/Ext4 – wez Jan 7 '10 at 8:50

I think you've got it back to front. ext4 seems to have the better benchmarks and faster speeds, therefore ext4 is the way to go. Also, Ubuntu 9.10 uses ext4 by default. As linked above though this question is a dupe.
